Reference excerpt

The Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace was created in 2015 in Geneva at the initiative of 15 co-convening UN Member States to analyse water in the context of maintaining peace and security and to move this issue from a technical to a political level. Chaired by Dr. Danilo Türk, the former President of the Republic of Slovenia, the Panel presented its landmark report, A Matter of Survival, in Geneva in 2017. The Geneva Water Hub, acted as Secretariat to the Panel. The Strategic Foresight Group was the main intellectual partner of the Panel.

Work of The Panel The High Level Panel on Water and Peace focused on the nexus between water and co-operation and how this maintains peace and security. This included preventive activities and arrangements, such as trans-border water cooperation regimes and institutions, the protection of water infrastructure during armed conflicts and water arrangements in the context of post-conflict peace-building. Over a period of two years the Panel held consultations and public hearings with all relevant organisations and stakeholders to:

Develop a set of proposals aimed at strengthening the global architecture to prevent and resolve water-related conflicts; Facilitate the role of water as an important factor of building peace and cooperation; and Enhance the relevance of water issues in national and global policy making.

Group of Friends on Water and Peace In response to the high interest generated by The High Level Panel on Water and Peace, a Group of Friends on Water and Peace Archived 2022-10-30 at the Wayback Machine was created in early 2016. It provides participating countries with the opportunity to interact with the work of the Panel and offers them a platform for regular dialogue on the issues and recommendations in A Matter of Survival.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace

In research: Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics International non-profit organizations, Organizations established in 2015, Water and society, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
